Fedora (pronounced /ˈfəˌdɔː(ɹ).ə/) is an RPM-based, general purpose hat built on top of the Linux kernel, developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat. Fedora's mission statement is: "Fedora is about the rapid progress of Free and Open Source software."[3]
One of Fedora's main objectives is not only to contain free and open source software, but also to be on the leading edge of such technologies.[3][4] Also, developers in Fedora prefer to make upstream changes instead of applying fixes specifically for Fedora—this ensures that updates are available to all Linux distributions.[5]
Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel, says he uses Fedora because it had fairly good support for PowerPC when he used that processor architecture. He became accustomed to the operating system and continues to use it.[6]

[edit] History
The Fedora Project was created in late 2003, when Red Hat Linux was discontinued.[7] Red Hat Enterprise Linux was to be Red Hat's only officially supported Linux distribution, while Fedora was to be a community distribution.[7] Red Hat Enterprise Linux branches its releases from versions of Fedora.[8]
The name of Fedora derives from Fedora Linux, a volunteer project that provided extra software for the Red Hat Linux distribution, and from the characteristic fedora used in Red Hat's "Shadowman" logo. Fedora Linux was eventually absorbed into the Fedora Project.[9] Fedora is a trademark of Red Hat. Although this has previously been disputed by the creators of the Fedora repository management software, the issue has now been resolved.[10]

[edit] Distribution

PackageKit, the default package manager on Fedora
The Fedora Project distributes Fedora in several different ways:[11]
Fedora DVD – a DVD of all major Fedora packages at time of shipping;
Live images – CD or DVD sized images that can be used to create a Live CD or install Fedora on a USB flash drive;
Minimal CD or USB image – used for installing over HTTP, FTP or NFS;[12]
Rescue CD or USB image – used if some part of the system has failed and needs to be fixed, or for installing over the Internet.
The Fedora Project also distributes custom variations of Fedora which are called Fedora spins.[13] These are built from a specific set of software packages and have a combination of software to meet the requirements of a specific kind of end user. Fedora spins are developed by several Fedora special interest groups.[14] It is also possible to create Live USB versions of Fedora using Fedora Live USB creator or UNetbootin.
Software package management is primarily handled by the yum utility.[15] Graphical interfaces, such as pirut and pup are provided, as well as puplet, which provides visual notifications in the panel when updates are available.[15] apt-rpm is an alternative to yum, and may be more familiar to people used to Debian or Debian-based distributions, where Advanced Packaging Tool is used to manage packages.[16] Additionally, extra repositories can be added to the system, so that packages not available in Fedora can be installed.[17]
